are hard to remove
when sharply creased into a fabric.
The iron may soften them out
but it’s hard to remove
a sharply creased line.
Life’s wrinkles
can be like that,
when they are pressed,
again and again,
into the fabric
of our malleable souls,
making knife-like creases
where once
a gentle wrinkle laid.
-Joy Stalvey Barefoot
